The "F" bomb
Let me preface this by saying I am not so naive to think that my soon to be teenager never swears when he is around his friends. That is not the issue nor has it ever been. I know he does it and he knows that I know. I also told him that I know it happens but he has to watch his mouth in front of adults including teachers etc and women. This coming from a woman who can outcuss a sailor (hanging my head in shame).
OK to the story. My beloved eldest got in trouble this morning. He neglected to do his chores and I called him out on it and told him I am DONE and he needs to step up and do his part. So I guess he was in a bad mood.
Fast foreward to 7:30am. The bus driver "B" calls me. B says that my oldest dropped several F bombs and referred to his B of a mother. LOUD!! She said stop, he didn't so she wrote him up. This offense is one he COULD get kicked off the bus for.
I went to his school had him pulled out of class and I had a talk with him right then and there about his language, lack of respect and attitude. His advisor sat in on the conversation as well. He wil not get kicked off of the bus this time. He will have lunch detention for the week. I also insisted he write a letter of apology to the bus driver. The advisor agreed. But I tell you the whole "the world owes me, it is everyone elses fault, entitlement" BS is old.
As I like to say "Lord grant me the patience to endure my blessings"
